I like Tate. I think he's a winner and a leader and that guys will play hard for him. But I'm perfectly comfortable with BLM at the helm. Even if there are ups and downs, it'll make BLM a better player in the long term.

Adrian MacPherson is not a bad insurance policy either.

P.S. Liked this quote from the article:

Quote:
Tate has a Grey Cup ring from his rookie season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2007.

Calgary Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce the signing of five rookie imports — receivers Sederrick Cunningham and Marcus Rucker, offensive lineman Korian Chambers, defensive lineman Brandon Williams and defensive back Jeremy Williams.
In other transaction news, the Stampeders have released non-import fullback Wilkerson DeSouza and non-import receiver Chris Bauman.

I am not surprised Bauman is released. They have a few non-import receivers Ahead of him now and he's been injured. DeSouza I am not surprised either.

This won't end well. In response to Michael Sam on the weekend:

Mr. Price is Right@MauricePrice1712 mins

My faith won't allow me to ACCEPT what took place over the weekend! Sorry, NOT sorry! #AdamAndEve #NotAdamAndAdam

Mr. Price is Right@MauricePrice177 mins

And it's highly disturbing & uncomfortable that under the current constitution individuals have been FINED for verbalizing their thoughts

This'll be interesting. I don't agree with him but thats his belief and he's not hurting anyone by saying what he's saying. So I don't think there should be a fine or any sort of punishment.

Yeah, I don't know. Arland Bruce got in trouble earlier in the year making comments about Michael Sam. But his comment was full of profanities so that probably didn't help him.

I didn't think of this:

Randy Sportak@SUNRandySportak48 secs

Does anyone want to tell @MauricePrice17 the @NHLFlames own the @calstampeders and where Mr. Burke stands on this issue?

What is he trying to accomplish with these comments? What an idiot. Good thing he got a nice new contract because it will help him pay for the fine he is going to get.

Mo Price is entitled to his opinion and his belief. I don't agree with him but that's his opinion. Like DaChief mentioned he didn't hurt anyone and he didn't really call him names. MissTeeks is correct, it is highly disturbing.

He's posted a follow up message:

Mr. Price is Right@MauricePrice175 mins

of course my words get misconstrued. I wish Sam nothing but the best & hope he has a fantastic career. It's nothing personal against HIM.

Man, that is really unfortunate. I used to be a big fan of him.

Its the exact same thing as "I am not racist but..."

Let me guess. Jon Cornish threatened to kick his butt if he doesn't change his opinion.

Statement from the Stamps:

“@calstampeders: (1/2) The Calgary Stampeders are outraged by the offensive comments made today in tweets from Maurice Price’s account”

“@calstampeders: (2/2) The comments are repugnant and in no way reflect the organization’s views or values. The matter will now be dealt with internally”

What an ass. Mo Price can go to Winnipeg. He has the right to his opinion but in a public space offensive thoughts should be kept to himself.
Someone needs to educate this ass that the same Bible he uses to be homophobic was used as an excuse to enslave blacks.
Did I say "ass"?

Any and every CFL team would take Mo Price in a heart beat. He would have a contract so quick if the Stamps were stupid to cut him. Good thing Huff is a smart football man.

I suggested we deal him to the Bombers. He can play with a mediocre team that doesn't have a QB to get him the ball.

Of course I jest...and I'm aware he would be picked up if cut...still doesn't change the fact that he is an ass and nothing changes that fact. Too bad...as with others he was one of my favorite Stamps.

Well the fact he made it public kinda changes things. If he can go public those who disagree have the same right. If he was sittin at home rappin his thoughts to himself things would be much different.

If a white player came out and "stated his opinion" that black people are inferior and that slavery was a-OK with him, he'd be all but crucified - and rightly so. This is no different.

Love to see us trade up in the draft, take Devon Bailey, and trade Price to shore up some other holes. A top-flight, first-class organization such as ours can't be willing to look past stuff like this.
